Agreed, do the rice trick, but I think those phones are rated pretty much water proof up to 3 feet or is it 3 meters, in any case, remove the case and put the phone in the uncooked rice so it is completely covered, preferably with the charging port facing downwards. Then, use paper towels to dry out the case and let it sit over night as well. Then, try plugging it tomorrow morning and I'm sure all will be well.

I'm so ready to kick myself. I know the newer iPhones are water resistant, but how resistant? I was in the kitchen cooking and had my phone on the counter so I could use the speaker phone. I moved a dish towel and woops, my phone slid off the counter and into a full sink of soapy water. This is an iPhone 12 Pro that has a Zag case on it with a tempord glass screen protector. The case has TPU bumpers on the edges of the phone and a hard shell on the back and halfway up the sides of the phone. None of the ports are protected like the battery charger or speakers. I scooped the phone out of the water as soon as it happened and was able to continue my conversation with no sign of the phone malfunctioning. It seems to be Okay, except the edges of the case where the TPU touches the screen are damp. The speakers sound Okay and all of the buttons are working. Do I put it in a bag of rice or what? Ironically, I have a day before I need to return it to Verizon. How soon can I safely plug the phone into a brick charger or should I even try?? HTH. And yes, I feel really dumb. I'm going to price Otterbox cases now. <sigh> Lisa -- Lisa Belville [email protected] -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
